The Department of Homeland Security and the General Services Administration in the summer of 2017 released a task order called “DEFEND” (for (Dynamic and Evolving Federal Enterprise Network Defense) to help agencies speed the development of cybersecurity technology. As security becomes more of a priority, agencies need to determine where their funding can be best used. DEFEND is part of DHS’ next iteration of its Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program.

DEFEND replaces blanket purchase agreements that expire this August. The DHS and the GSA are taking bids from systems integrators to compete for task orders. The DEFEND task orders will allow the DHS and the GSA to issue requests for service for discrete kinds of cybersecurity work, including the cloud, access management, mobile and more.
